14 Nov
Summary
- Uber expands Teens and Family feature for safer, supervised travel
- Air India partners with Vobble to offer screen-free audio entertainment for young flyers
- Initiatives aim to nurture and support children on India's Children's Day
On November 14, 2025, India celebrates Children's Day to honor the birth anniversary of the country's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. This year, leading companies are marking the occasion with initiatives aimed at safeguarding and empowering the next generation.
Uber, the US-based cab aggregator, has expanded its Teens and Family feature, allowing teens to sign themselves up on the app with guardian approval. This move is designed to make travel safer, simpler, and more inclusive for families across generations. Uber recognizes that young users are often early adopters, and the changes aim to give them the flexibility to manage their own accounts in a safe and supervised way.
Simultaneously, Air India has partnered with Vobble, a kids-focused audio entertainment platform, to introduce in-flight audio experiences for young travelers aged 4 to 12 years. Available through the airline's wireless in-flight entertainment system, the collaboration offers 57 hours of ad-free, age-appropriate listening content, providing families with an engaging and screen-free alternative during air travel. The curated library includes a diverse mix of stories, adventures, and mindfulness sessions to inspire curiosity, creativity, and learning among children.
These initiatives by Uber and Air India demonstrate a commitment to nurturing and empowering India's youth, ensuring they have access to safe, supervised, and enriching experiences on the occasion of Children's Day.
